Usage notes

 * The word has two common uses that are almost in opposition. One means roughly “clear; clearly true”, and serves to make a statement more decisive:
 * It was apparent that no one knew the answer. (=No one knew the answer, and it showed.)
 * The other is roughly “seeming; to all appearances”, and serves to make a statement less decisive:
 * The apparent source of the hubbub was a stray kitten. (=There was a stray kitten, and it seemed to be the source of the hubbub.)
 * The same ambivalence occurs with the derived adverb, which usually means “seemingly” but can also mean “clearly”, especially when it is modified by another adverb, such as.
